The Thanksgiving Food Drive begins this week.  Details are in the Traveler, for needed food items for the Thanksgiving baskets, and for the Loretto food pantry.  

Have you started humming Christmas carols yet?  Do you listen to the "all Christmas music, all the time" channel on the radio?  If you answer yes to either question- or both, we want you!  The Choir is beginning to  learn new music for the Christmas season.  Why not commit to practice with the choir, Thursday evenings at 7:30 p.m. in the Education Center?  The music is not difficult,  the choir is a fun group, and it will be wonderful if you can join us for that great celebration!

Photographs of the recent Volunteer Appreciation Dinner have been added to the Photos section.  Thanks to everyone for a fun-filled evening!

Here at Our Lady of Loretto, we are a welcoming community; we are inviting to anyone who is interested in becoming Catholic.  If you have not been baptized or received the sacraments of the Holy Eucharist or Confirmation, you can contact Fr. Ralph or Sr. Margretta at: (313) 534-9000.  We will  begin the RCIA process with an informal meeting in September.

New links have been added to the Links section of the web site.  Take a look!

Attention shutter bugs!  
If you have digital photographs from  recent  events such as the Annual Fun Fair, we hope you'll share them for the Photo Album section of this web site.   Photographs may be emailed to the web master, at the address below.
